It is said that there is a kind of food in Beijing called Aiwowo, which comes from the Qing Dynasty court, but the source of this cuisine comes from our Datong.
In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor personally conquered the Northwest Erut Gardan Department in the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1696), and returned via Datong, which was the twelfth day of december in the old calendar. At that time, the large army marched from the YuanDong Gate (玄冬門). In Datong City, the loess soil was paved, the streets were sprinkled with clear water, and all the officials and the people helped the elderly and children to kneel beside the road.
Datong commander-in-chief Gao Ding, Yu Yimo, Ma Jianlong, the prefect Ye Jiusi, And Zhixian Zhou Quangong and other officials performed the three prostrations and nine prayers, leading the residents to shout long live. The Kangxi Emperor did not shy away from his subjects, and opened the dragon and let its inhabitants watch.
The palace is located on the Palace of Gao Ding, the commander-in-chief of Shuaifu Street. The next day, Kangxi quietly got up, taking only the military minister Ma Siha and the general Shabu with him, dressed in micro-clothes. Kangxi disguised himself as a merchant, and the second retinue disguised himself as a servant. They found out that Yungang was an excellent monument, so the three of them took the car to go.
When they arrived in Yungang, they feasted on the style of the Yungang Giant Buddha, and they did not realize that the sky had turned black and their stomachs were hungry. When they went to a villager's house next to the Yungang opera stage, they knocked on the door of the house, and after entering the door, they saw an old woman steaming a cage of chaff vegetable nests, Kangxi suddenly felt that this taste was very fragrant, so he bought a few big foods from the old woman, and after eating it, he felt that the taste was sweeter, and he felt that it was more delicious than the taste of the mountains and treasures in the palace.
It was night, they returned to the Gaoding Mansion, and the officials saw that the emperor had returned, and after a moment of false alarm, they let go of their hearts. At this time, Kangxi immediately called for the four treasures of the study room, wrote the four characters of "Solemn Fa Xiang" for the Yungang Book, and wrote a plaque of "Great Mosque of The Halal" for the mosque. After secretly visiting the Drum Tower, he heard a story and wrote a couplet for the Drum Tower: "The world makes the three seas wide and the sky", "The heart field leaves a little seed to plant Sun Geng".
After Kangxi returned to Beijing, he still thought about Datong's chaff nest, so he asked the old lady who made the nest to take the old lady who made the nest to the Beijing Palace, concocted this nest head as it was done, and after doing it well, the Kangxi Emperor ate it but it was bitter and difficult to swallow.
The old woman then said a sentence to Kangxi: "Hungry rice is as sweet as honey, and full rice is not sweet!" The Kangxi Emperor was very touched to hear this, so he asked the imperial kitchen in the palace to make a special dish nest to warn the concubines and princes in the palace, and asked them not to forget the sufferings of the people.
Later, some clever imperial cooks gradually transformed this nest into a delicious small nest, and everyone felt that it was very delicious, so they called this nest "love nest". After this kind of nest spread to the people, people called it "Ai Wo Wo" in order to avoid the suspicion of the royal surname "Ai Xin Jue Luo".
